Not beside you

The stranger in the room

After completing all her court work Bondita went for shopping. After some hours of choosing and bargaining she finally finalised the outfit.

Tailor - aap andar kamre mein jaaiye. Meri patni aakar apka naap le lengi.

Bondita - mujhe Aaj hi mere kapde mil jayenge na ? Yaad rakhiye mene apka jyada paise diye hai kaam jaldi karne ke liye.

Tailor - mujhe yaad hai Bondita ji aur mein apke kapde shaam Tak apke Ghar par paucha dunga. Vishwas rakhiye !

Bondita went inside the room. As soon as she entered a strange guy shut and closed the door. By this Bondita got alert.

Bondita - Kon ho tum ! Darwaza kyu band kiya hai ! Darwaza kholo varna maar maar ke tumhari chatni bana dungi !

Guy - toh maaro mujhe ! Issi bahane apka bhi saara gussa nikal jayega aur mujhe bhi mere paapo ki saza mil jayegi!

Bondita - matlab? Kehna kya chahte ho, saaf saaf kaho ! Kon ho tum aur yaha kyu aaye ho !

Guy - zindagi mein mene bahut galtiya ki hai ! Unhi ko sudharne aaya hu !

Saying this the guy turned and he was none other than Anirudh. He slowly moved towards Bondita but Bondita didn't moved from her position.

Anirudh ( teasingly ) - Kammal hai ! Mene toh chal Chitra mein dekha tha ki hero dheere dheere heroine ke pass aata hai aur heroine dheere dheere peeche jaati hai aur ye silsila tab tak chalta hai jab tak heroine kisi diwar se nahi takra jaati aur hero............

Bondita - "Barrister babu apni sapno ki duniya bahar aaiye. Ye asal zindagi hai na ki koi chal Chitra aur na aap hero hai aur mein na apki heroine !" Saying this she looked away from him.

Anirudh - smirked to her statement and said " mein bhalaiye koi hero na hu Bondita par tum" He softly held her chin by his thumb and fingers and lifted her head up to meet his gaze." Tum meri heroine ho. Iss Anirudh Roy Choudhury ki one and only heroine!"

Bondita couldn't look away due to his fierce gaze. Anirudh slowly came an inch more closer and cupped her cheeks. He waited for sometime incase Bondita felt uncomfortable but when he didn't felt that he joined their heads. Their heads and nose were now touching and they could feel each other's breath.

Bondita.....

Anirudh whispered making a shiver run down her spines. She closed her eyes and few drops of tears rolled down her cheeks. Anirudh noticed it and he kissed where her tears ,sucking all her tears. By this more tears rolled down her cheeks.

' Bondita Das aaj ek baat ko ghaat bandh lo hamare beech ab koi rishta nahi , hamare raaste ab alag hai aur itne alag ki vo kabhi nahi milenge. Iss baat ko apne zehen mein dafan kar lo'

Bondita got the flashback. She opened her eyes in shock and pushed Anirudh who was still kissing her.

Anirudh - Bon.... Bondita tum theek ho ? Tumhe ye sab accha nahi laga ? Mujhe maaf........

Bondita - Dur ! Dur rahiye mujhse ! Mere pass nahi ayenge aap !

Anirudh - accha theek hai mein tumhare paas nahi aunga par tum bas itna bata do ki kya tumhe ye sab sahi nahi laga.....mera .....mera tumhare pass aana !

Saying this she was leaving when Anirudh held her elbow. He was irritated how she didn't answered him. He was concerned that he made Bondita uncomfortable and this was eating him from inside. He needed the answer and he will not let her go without his answer. He pulled her towards himself. His body crashed with his but unfortunately Anirudh's lost his balance and they fell to a nearby table.

They looked at each other. Their gaze was broken when some colorful threads fell on them. Bondita tried to get away but she was stuck in threads.

Anirudh - Bondita idhar dekho !

Bondita - Nahi dekhna mujhe apko !

Anirudh - "Bondita idhar dekho" This time Bondita couldn't oppose. "Dekho meri ankhon ko. Taras gayi hai tumhe dekhne ke liye "

Bondita - Shayad khuch mahino pehle meri bhi ankhein aise hi taras rahi thi ! Apne Sakha Babu ke liye ! Par hua kya ? Vo nahi aaye kyuki unhe apni dushmani nibhani thi !

Anirudh sighed in defeat. He knew he couldn't say anything further. While Bondita was untangling herself Anirudh layed their still in fear of touching Bondita which she felt inappropriate.

Anirudh( grins) - vese.... bandhan mein bandhunga ye toh socha tha par aise bandhunga ye nahi socha tha.

Saying this he started smiling. This was the first time after 8 years Bondita saw Anirudh smiling. How his eyes shines and a dimple forms. She was overstruck by the view and unknowingly started smiling.

They were in their own world when someone opened the door.

Yeh kya kar rahe hai aap dono !
